Evaluation of TCP over IPv4 and IPv6 for the ESP8266 in Normal Operation and Under a DoS Attack
Eric Gamess, Brody Smith · 2020
Since the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining acceptance worldwide, manufacturers have proposed cheap modules and development boards for its implementation. Even if those devices have been in the markets for some years, just a few studies assess their network performance. In this work, we selected the ESP8266, a well-known IoT module, and evaluated its TCP performance in normal operation, and when facing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The performance evaluation was done for both IPv4 and IPv6 using two different platforms for development.
